brightrosefoxIn today's issue of the Washington Express, a woman wrote a letter to the editor in severe opposition to gay marriage. She says some things that made my blood boil when I first read it. I can't even think of words to explain how I feel. So I'll just copy hers and let you guys decide if what she says is as frightening, sad, and pointless as I think it is:
"I am so sick of hearing people trying to justify gay marriage. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a hundred times: God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. God said, 'Be fruitful and multiply.' I guess we'll just resort to the babies derived from test tubes. What a mess we have to look forward to. Think about it people:If we stop procreating, there will be no one here for our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to procreate with. You're fighting for gay marriage for your own selfish agenda. Think about looking into the future when families like yours no longer exist."
This is how she wants to justify her argument? She's gotta be fucking kidding! Surely the gay marriage opposers can come up with a better argument than this. Obviously she's not the only one who thinks this, and that worries me. Especially the whole "God wants us to marry so we can procreate." Yeah, like marriage is really necessary for procreation. Like all those single mothers out there with their very real children don't mean a damn.
Heh. She uses the excuse "God said that we should be fruitful and multiply." I always want to say, "Really? You know, fruit is a slang word for homosexual (albeit derogatory). *cough*"
